Who's involved: Specialist insurer Hiscox. What's happening: Hiscox has developed an app – FloodPlus AR – that uses augmented reality technology to illustrate the growing flood threat to coastal towns and cities from rising sea levels. Significance of development: The app allows people to see how predicted sea level rises could affect Greenville, a suburb of Jersey City in the US, using a virtual topographical map. According to Hiscox's analysis, 8.8% of properties in Hudson County, New Jersey, could be flooded if global sea levels rose by the 2.4 metres, as predicted by some climate experts by the end of this century. Who's involved: Israeli startup Ride Vision and Italian insurance provider, Sara Assicurazioni.
